Combined agents yarded 3,024 head yesterday, comprising of 1,784 steers, 904 heifers, 306 cows, 52 Cows & Calves and 30 bulls. Cattle were drawn from Collinsville & Bowen in the North, South to Taroom and the usual local areas. Quality, although mixed in some classes was good overall. The usual feeders were present and operating with one processor not operating whilst another returned to the panel following flood repairs. There was a slight easing tendency in values through the yard, although cows improved in value with the lift in quality on offer.
